Abstract
- Lipoma is the most common of soft tissue tumours. It rarely occurs in the head and neck. Patients with fast-growing large sized lesion (> 10cm) should be suspected to have a cancer. We here report the case of a patient presenting with unusual cervical lipoma (size: approximately 46cm), diagnosed based on imaging tests, including computed tomography (CT) scan. Patient´s management was based on surgery.<br />Competing Interests: Les auteurs ne déclarent aucun conflit d´intérêts.<br /> (Copyright: Mohammed Elakhiri et al.)
